And if you think it's bad now, here's what's coming (Via Capital Economics):

Greece may resort... to IOUs to pay public sector workers and pensioners and free up money to repay its debts. But this could cause economic chaos if fears that the IOUs would never be paid sparked riots or public sector employees simply refused to work.

Globalized gold mine....more to follow. I will check the date but 411 bc comes to mind with Thucydides trying to ignore
the known carnage to come with foreign interests. http://gdxforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... ses#p22422

The middle men paid for the piece of information to manage assets. As Hayek conveyed as the pretense of knowledge.

John had a thread note here: http://gdxforum.com/forum/search.php?ke ... sf=msgonly macro and micro views
can be sorted without much travail. We had warned the efferts to contain can be lost in context since information is a bent of mind.
Facts remain like the simple list of 10 things to avoid.

I dodged a bullet. This is from ZeroHedge on Friday:

I almost included the above in my Saturday World View. Fortunately
for me, I was too sleepy on Friday night, so I went to bed instead.
Lucky.

Somehow I have the feeling that this isn't over.

Quote from Yanis Varoufakis' (new Greek Finance minister) book "The Global Minotaur" (p. 227):
A second, even brighter, scenario would be for the West to have an epiphany and, at long last, embrace John Maynard Keynes’ suggestion of an International Currency Union – the very suggestion that America rejected at the Bretton Woods conference of 1944.
Varoufakis often appears as guest analyst for news media like the BBC, CNN, Sky News, Russia Today and Bloomberg TV among others. Since January 2013 he has been teaching at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.

While this trend certainly is not linked exclusively to NAFTA, the agreement is emblematic of wider currents in global trade policy that offer
multinationals expansive legal privileges and distinct advantages over small domestic businesses.
